Learning Spanish and Exploring Granada

I really enjoyed my time here and improved my Spanish a lot. The CLIC classes helped me learn and practice every day, and the trip to Granada was a highlight. It was a great mix of learning, travel, and new experiences.

I would recommend this program. I loved my experience with my host family and the language school I attended. The weekend trip to Granada was unforgettable and has been my favorite city in Spain so far.

The excitement that came with my Spanish improvement was most memorable for me.

When deciding to take a gap year I felt really stressed about how I would choose to spend my time and finding the right experience for me. I’m so happy I found the ciee gap year program, I felt that it was a great opportunity to learn so many new things and have such a unique experience. My most memorable experience was getting to meet so many new people who J probably never would’ve had I not been in this program and studying abroad here in Seville. And aside from the traveling I got to do, the excitement that came with my Spanish improvement was most memorable for me. Being able to notice my own progress and feel really comfortable in a completely new language was really rewarding.
